First of Many posts....

May 5, 2014

This week was a great week, even though our numbers don't
show it. We had an amazing zone focus
where we learned how to teach repentance, and that if we teach repentance we
will have a ton more success in converting, and retaining and reactivation.
Also, there is the promise from Elder Holland that if we teach baptism FOR THE
REMISSION OF SIN, then we will quadruple our baptisms. Incredible.

We have also been doing a ton of service this
week. (we painted two pisos, and cleaned up from a remodeling, and we also
visited a menos activo who is the hospital twice) and to top it all off,
yesterday we had fast Sunday. I have
been spiritually fed, and I know that we have seen miracles because of the work
we have been doing. One that we have
seen already is that we had correlation with our ward mission leader for the
first time in awhile, and its because we went and helped clean/paint his piso,
and so he had more time to spend with us. (side note, I got to paint a huge
picture of Bruce, the shark from Finding Nemo, on the wall of his sons room. Seriously it is bigger than he is. I'll send
pics :) I had a blast!!) I know that as we serve others as a much as we can, we
can be blessed. And beyond that, I also got to see Elder West be amazing like
always with how caring he is and willing to serve however he can. It was really great to see that, and I know
that he is going to finish his mission super strong. Also, one cool thing that
we have decided to start doing is trying to contact, either by calling or
knocking on their doors, at least 10 members a day. So far we have been averaging about 12 a day,
and one day we even got up to 18. It's
crazy though, that even when we knock on 15 doors, and call each of them plus
three more people, only 4 answer. but we are still trying!!!

Anyway, I hope you all have a really great week, and also
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!! Shout out to mine:) She's the best:)
